Through a Sieve Woven Finer Than Silk Raw materials of which portland cement is made come out of the ground usually as solidrrock. They must first be crushed, ground and reground until at least 85 per cent of the resulting powder will shake through a sieve that will actually hold water. , This sieve is considerably finer than the finest silk fabric. It has 200 hair-like bronze wires to the inch. That means 40,000 holes to the square inch. > ' ?? ? But the several crushings and grindings necessary to reduce solid rock to this extreme fineness are only the beginning of cement making. The powdered materials must then be sub jected to intense heat for several hours in huge rotary kilns. Here they are half melted and become a substance much harder than the original rock? clinker, it is called. Then the clinker must be crushed and ground until at least 78 per cent of the result ing product will pass through the sieve woven finer than silk. This is portland cement. V . > > More than 80 power and fuel consuming operations are necessary in cement making. The electric power alone used in producing a barrel of portland cement would, if pur chased at usual household rates, cost $1.70. Few manufactured products go through so involved or complicated a process as port land cement. And it sells for less per pound than any comparable manufactured product k/ ( t ' PORTLAND CEMENT ASSOCIATION til West Washington Street CHICAGO o4 National Organization to Improve and Extend the Uses of Concrete Atlurta Dearer Kamai dty New York' Sen FimHiw Binning hen Dee Moinee Loe Ansclee Parkenbui* S? wle BoMon Detroit M.mphu PluIedelpJue S?.

BETTER ?i ROADS ' wnnmptnnnwiiwiw^ Back Move in Support of Improved Highways Legislative activities, both state and national, on behalf of good roads and in support of motor vehicle laws which are fair to the individual automobile owner will constitute a prominent part of the American Automobile as sociation's program for the corning year, according to a statement by Thomas P. Henry of Detroit, new president of the A. A. A., at an In formal meeting held at Washington. National problems will be handled by the national organization and local matters affecting the motorist In the various states will be taken up through the state association of clubs of such state which are affiliated with the A. A. A. Highway legislative activities, ac cording to Mr. Henry, will Include an Intensive program directed toward eliminating lo so far as possible the personnel of the various highway boards and commissions from partisan politics. Decision to concentrate on this problem wag reached after a study of statistics which show that highway departments of eighteen states have been radically changed during the last few months. ' "We feel," said Mr. Henry, "that the building and maintenance of high ways is of too great Importance to be Interrupted by a complete change In ( administration. Adequate highways ( are a boon to the whole people, and partisan politics should play no part in their construction. We feel that every highway depnrtnent should be operated on a businesslike basis with | the best obtainable personnel In charge, In order that the people who pay for the roads may get the ut- j mo8t for their money." Closer co-operation with other na tional organizations was also suggest ed by President Henry as a part of ! the year's activities for the A. A. A. j "Every cause advocated by the Amer- ; lean Automobile association," he said, | "is altruistic in purpose, and there | is no reason why we should not have the co-operation of every great na tional organization in support of the measures we advocate. "Good roads benefit everybody, un- ; fair taxes on the automobile affect ; every class of people; measures which | give the motorist a square deal are of Interest to every national organ- | ization. As the activities of the A. A. A. are confined solely to advocat ing beneficial measures, and as Sec retary Wallace so aptly expressed it, j 'the A. A. A. has no a* to grind,' j there is no reason why we cannot co- j operate with other organizations and ; receive In turn their co-operation." J States Utilize Surplus War Material on Roads (Prepared by the United States Department of Agriculture.) Surplus war material which the gov- j ernnient refused to sell at Junk prices i Is being used In road construction to great advantage by the states to whom the material is transferred, ac cording to the bureau of public roads of the United States Department of Agriculture. At the end of the war there was left unused over a half-million pounds of rough castings of spare parts for one of the well-known makes of mo tor truck*. They were badly rusted and on casual inspection might have been condemned as worthless junk, but It was found that the necessary machine finishing entirely rem<*red all rust and pits. A small offer /or the entire lot was made, but was not ac cepted. A few months ago the state highway department of North Caro lina accepted a portion of them as part of Its share of surplus war mate rial for use In road building. Surplus war machinery was used for finishing the putts for use In trucks also re ceived as surplus war material. The finished parts are worth about 75 cents a pound as compared with an ofTer of one cent ? pound for the parts In the rough. Other states have followed the ex ample of North Carolina and the entire supply has been taken up and will be put to useful service.

Abraham's Ancestor* (Josh. 24.2, 14. Abraham's people were Idolaters. Very likely as a young man, he himself worshiped Idols. Tradition furnishes us with some interesting stories touching his struggle against Idolatry. At any rate, his experience was such as to well qualify him to be the head of a people whose God was the Lord. He knew how hopelessly disastrous idolatry was to the morals of the people, and, there fore, would be able to lead them back to God. ? - I). Abraham's Call (Gen. , 124. cf. Acts 7:2-3). , God came to him In TJr of the Chal dees and said unto him : 1. "Get thee out of thy country. One is tied to his country with a strong bond. Abraham had lived long enough to have formed strong attach ments to his country. n 2. "Get thee out from thy kindred. Abraham was not only to leave be hind blm his native land, but his rela tives as well, even his father's, house. Since his kindred were Idolaters, he must leave them. Abra^pm was to become a pilgrim, to be without a home. Even in Canaan, the only land he ever owned, was a burial place. 3. "Into the land that I will show thee." He was not told what or where the land was. He went out not know ing whither he went (Heb. 11:8). While he dwelt In tents during his earthly sojourn, yet "he looked for a city which hath foundations whose builder and maker Is God" (Heb. 8cl0). And thus he was ft typical be liever called out from his family and country, and renouncing idolatry, he walked by faith, testifying to his and succeeding generations to the faithful ness of God. It costs to obey God, but tli ere is an abundant recompense. III. God's Promise to Abraham (Gen. 12:2-3; 18:17-18). 1. The Father of a Great Posterity (v. 2). This has been literally fulfilled. He was not to go out primarily for what he could get, but for what he could do. The minister and mission ary forget their own personal bless ings in the supreme Joy of their con verts who are the rfults of their labor. ! No name in all history equals that of Abraham in its honorable influence. His is the name of honor among Jews, Mohammedans and Christians. They all acknowledge him as father. 2. A Blessing to Others (vv. 2, 3). He w^s not only to become great and to share God's blessings, but to be a blessing to others. He has become a blessing to countless multitudes. This is the prevailing law of the spiritual life ? being blessed to be a blessing. Those who respond to this law become the very touchstone of God, so precious that God will bless them who bless them, and curse those who curse them. God makes common cause with His people. So vitally Is He one with them that It is a serious thing to mis treat them. To maltreat God's chil dren Is to lift the hand against God. No one who goes against Him can prosper. Not only Is this so with ref erence to wilful acts against His chil dren, but neglect or refusal to do good to them. Christ regards all acts for or against them as for or against Him. IV. God Testing Abraham (Gen. 22:2-18). Abraham's faith was shown In that he obeyed the call of God and left his land and kindred, but his faitb reached Its highest point in offering Isaac. For many years, he had waited for the fulfillment of God's promise as to his heir. At last that promise was a reality. Abraham's hope was not the ordinary hope which fills the heart of J every father, that his name and work may be perpetuated through his son. A new nation and the world's Savior were to spring up from Abraham through this son. Through this great ordeal, his faith responded enabling him to believe that God would give Isaac back from the dead (Heb. 11:17-19). God tries all His children. The more Important, the more severe the trial. Education. The worst education that teache3 self-denial Is better than the best that teaches everything else and not that ? J. Sterling.

PATIENTS AIDED DY RADIO Helped to Forget Their Shattered Nerves and Takes the Place of Sedatives. I Combating the drug habit was not among the uses to which it was be lieved that the radio could be put, even by its most optimistic promoters. Yet it lias been discovered that pa tients in hospitals equipped with radio sets which can pass along afternoon and evening concert programs, are helped to forget their sufferings and are less in need of narcotics to quiet their shattered nerves. The radio goes far toward carrying into the wards the gayety and cheer that have been hitherto only for the healthy world outside. Inasmuch as all doc tors agree that many drug addicts ac quire the addiction .during convales cence In hospitals, this achievement becomes one of the most important that has thus far been set down to the credit of the radio. The radio may remain a toy or a jest for the healthy and cynical. It has already estab lished Itself as a heaven-sent blessing for shut-ins. ? New York Tribune. Practical Evidence Wanted.

In a rugged, out-of-the-way region on the ocean side of the Const ranges, in Monterey county, California, gold nuggets have been found of such size as to suggest thai this was once a favorite retreat of the proverbial goose that laid the golden eggs. Mat ter-of-fact prospectors, however, have sought to find the veins from which such masses of gold, loosened by the weather, were washed into the stream beds. Their search has not been suc cessful, and J. M. Hill, a United States geologist of the Department of the In terior, in a report just published, sug gests that the nuggets came from rich j superficial pockets in very small veins, and that no large and rich deposits are likely to be found by deep mining. The Coast ranges of California, unlike the Sierra Nevada, are nor rich in gold, and the occurrence of these large nug gets does not necessarily indicate the existence of a rich deposit of gold ore.
